5,000 Dollars to Blow on IM - What To Invest In for Best Return in 2013

Hypothetical question, someone comes up to you and says they'll give you 5,000 dollars to do IM methods for one year. At the end of the year they'll ask for their 5k back, no interest. What would you do/invest in to maximize your return?

With $5k (and assuming you only get a year to pay it back) I'd probably develop a niche FB group and either become an affiliate of a major player in the niche or sell it to a major player in the niche.

Blow it all on black.

Or red.

It really depends. There are lots of factors.

Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity

Go to flippa, buy some establish website that already make money from adsense or any affiliate program. Make sure you do a lot of research before buying. Use half of your money on BST section to buy seo services or paid traffic to your website. -Just my 2 cents

Probably use it to research & find a niche market to sell a product/service to. I would then gear a site around that product or service. With $5,000, I would use the money to first test the market with a G**gle survey to quantify a need. Once a need is established, the money would be used to get content written, videos produced, pay for hosting, domain, ssl certificate, phone, & virtual assistants (email/phone/customer support). If I do not know how to create a website or update a template, then money would be used for website design.

With the rest of the money, I would set up Search Ads (ppc advertising) campaigns & yo*t*be ads, maybe some marketing on L*nked*n & F*ceb**k ads if the target customer can be found there. I would get it set up to run on very minimal time investment for me, but with a good return for the initial set up. You allow your VA's to act as customer support, and give them a lot of autonomy to make calls they feel are right for the company.

Feel free to PM me for example websites where these fundamentals are implemented.

A lot of people here I'm sure will say some software, a computer, some service...etc, but what you really need is school or some type of education...
Learn design, coding, marketing fundamentals, and game theory.

I'd recommend you either enroll in a local community college and take classes in the topics I listed above. Or grab yourself a lot of book and visual aids to help you learn.

That $5k will be spent and gone sooner then you know it. But knowledge is with you for a lifetime and is worth 1000% it's weight in gold.

I would write a series of Kindle books and promote them for free and keep the $5,000.

I used to do that for other companies/individuals and get paid but since February I have just been writing my own and as of April am earning about $3000 per month and that rises by about $500-$1000 per month as you keep writing. You should get to $100,000 + by the end of the year and then I could give you the $5000 back!

I would use the youtube + CPA method as the only investment needed is to buy domains and and hosting and its easy. I will only invest more if I see a particular niche is doing well to scale my earnings up (buy views, likes, accounts(if your lazy), professional videos, backlinks and social signals) . I think I would be able to make $10000 per month at least in 6-8 months with youtube + cpa and about $3000 investment.

Other than marketing your books, I would save your money on kindle courses most tell you how to create a book.

I did not want to PM the answer - well I cannot yet anyway - as it my help others.

You basically need to do 3 things
1. find a popular niche (browse Amazons bestsellers)
2. merge 2 related themes - people feel they get more value if you can answer 2 themes rather than 1. (see what was also bought)
3. Author it with a pseudonym that sounds like a famous person from that niche - for example "How to write great pop songs" by P. McCartney
